CLARK CALLED TO

TWENTY-SIX BALLOTS ARE TAKEN
BRYAN SCORES CLARK'S TAM
MANY ALLIANCE IN SPEECH
EXPLAINING CHANGE OF
VOTE TO GOVERNOR
OF NEW JER
SEY BALTIMORE, June 29. With Gov
ernor Wilson gaining on each ballot
and Speaker Clark constantly losing
ground in the race for the President
ial nomination, the Democratic Na
tional convention at 1105 o'clock to
night adjourned until Monday morn
ing at 11 o'clock.
Twenty-six ballots had been taken
since the first call of the states and
there was no hope of a final verdict
tonight. It is against all politcal pre
cedent for a National convention to
sit on Sunday, but tomorrow will be
a day of important conferences among
the party leaders and a day of hard
work for the compaign managers.
When -the convention adjourned to
night, Speaker Clark was hurrying to
Baltimore from Washington in re
sponse to an uregnt call from his
campaign director. William Jennings
Bryan, at the afternoon session, had
attacked Clark and had said he would
vote for no man willing to accept the
nomination at the hands of "Murphy,
of Tammany HalL"
It was the plan of Mr. Clark to ap
pear before the convention and make
answer. In this way his managers

hoped to bolster the falling vote.
The ballots today ran from the 13th
to the 26th. Wilson began at 356 and
.ended at 407, a net gain during the
day of 51 votes. Speaker Clark be
gan at 554J and fell to 4631 a loss of
91 votes.
The anti-Clark leaders in the con
vention called attention to the fact
that they almost exactly offset the 90 j
votes given to Clark by the New York
delegation.
Breaks to Governor Wilson were
coming from many different delegates
:as the balloting closed. His manag
ers believed that, once he had over
taken Speaker Clark, the switching of
delegates would become general. The
Clark forces plan to make a desper- i
ate effort tomorrow to win back some !
of the delegates lost today, and in
this work they probably will have the
personal direction of the Speaker him- .
self. The Wilson forces, in the mean- i
time, epect to fight, not only to hold I
their gains of today, but to induce
more to desert the other candidates.
Senator Stone, of Missouri, made a
motion to eliminate the candidate re
ceiving the least number of votes on
each successive rollcall after the 27th .
ballot, until only one the winner
was left in the race. There was a
etorm cf objection and the subject
-was pressed no further.
III I MONDAY
The Harmon delegates from Ohio
threw their support to Speaker Clark
on several ballots, but they did not ma
terially help him" toward the neces
sary two-thirds vote, because of the
gradual inroads made by Wilson.
They then changed back to Harmon
and remained there until the last bal
lot of the night.
At the end : of the 13th ballot W.
J. Bryan rose in his chair in the Ne
braska deleagtion as a poll of the
state was ordered. He asked to ex
plain his vote. Bryan said:
"As long as New York's vote is cast
for Clark I withhold my vote from
him."
The convention was in an uproar.
Bryan remained mounted on his
chair. Senator Stone of Missouri made
his way to the platform to ask for
time for Bryan to explain his vote.
Above the din a motion granting
unanimous consent to Bryan to speak
was declared carried and the Com
moner proceeded to the platform
amid cheers and shouts of derision.
Bryan spoke deliberately, explain
ing in detail his vote, amid an im
pressive silence. Bryan read from a
prepared statement. He said Nebras
ka hand always been a progressive
state.
In this convention, he said, the pro
gressive sentiment was overwhelm
ing. The resolution adopted against
any candidate subservient o Morgan,
Ryan and Belmont showed the de
sires of the convention, Bryan said.
The vote o f New York represented
the wishes of one man, Charles F.
Murphy declared Bryan, and he rep
resented the same interests that
sought to dominate the Chicago con
vention. He and his associates in the Nebras
ka delegation he said, were unwilling
to accept the name of any man, who
was receiving the benefit of Murphy's
leadership.
Shouts of approval constanly inter
rupted Bryan, with occasional parlia
mentary protests.
"I shall not be a party," he declar
ed, " to the nomination of any man
who will not be absolutely free to car
ry out the anti-Morgan-Ryan-Belmont
resolution ,and make his administra-
tion reflect government of, for and
by the people. I shall withhold my
vote from Mr. Clark as long as New
York votes for him."
Governor McCorkle ,of West Vir
ginia, interrupted to ask:
"If the nomination of a Democratic
candidate is made with the -- vote " of
New York, will you then support the
candidate?"
As Bryan began to answer a dele
gate shouted: -
"Are you a Democrat?"
This nettled the .Commoner and he
shouted: "If that man will give you
his name I will record it beside that
of Messrs Ryan, Belmont and Mor
gan."
Answering McCorkle, Bryan said it
was a different thing to oppose a man
in a convention and oppose him after
a convention. Nothing, he said, would
justify the supposition that he would
not support the nominee.
"Would you support Clark, Wilson,
Harmon, Underwood, Marshall, Kern,
or Foss if one of them received a two
thirds vote of this convention, includ
ing the vote of New York?" asked
Governor Brewer, of Mississippi.
"1 deny the right of the gentlman to
ask such a hypothetical question un
less he puts into , the question every
